Cilantro Lime Baked Salmon on the Stove

So yea, especially busy week. But on Thursday! On Thursday I head to Detroit with my team to play in my final playoff tournament of my roller derby career. Deep bittersweet-ness there. If you’re only truly duper interested, you can watch live HERE. Our first game of the weekend is at 6pm EDT on Friday.

I’ve been doing my dependable to eat healthy and avoid that box of wine smiling at me in my fridge. ALSO I had some salmon quite similar to this at a restaurant recently and I LOVED it. So, I needed to recreate it at home. This is my attempt:

I’ve mentioned this before but we don’t get much fresh fish here in good ole Nashville, TN (besides catfish) so I typically buy it frozen. Full disclaimer.

I also love this salmon because it’s ridiculously straightforward to throw together. Only flop your thawed salmon down on some tin foil, blend up the other ingredients, and smother the salmon with it.

I use my food processor for pure laziness.

Simply throw the garlic cloves and cilantro in with little to no pre-chopping. And blend it all up.

Pour it evenly over the salmon

Put it in the oven for a bit and behold the yumminessssssss:

I hope that you are all having a lovely Wed-nes-day that’s filled with lots of coffee and a pastry of some kind (that’s all I can think of right now).
